me: hm fandom is always so exhausting for me even tho it's fun :( i gotta figure out a way to be in this space so it costs less energy & it won't constantly exacerbate my chronic bullshit :(

me later: okay so reviving my old ateez blog @wooyoungslipmole to reblog gifsets, art, memes etc etc works really well! (/blatant plug-in) i can easily mute the blog's notifs to manage the overstim better and i'm not flooded w/ small, flashing images in my writing blog's activity anymore so it's less of a strain to look at! yay, progress!

me, who should have stopped there: huh, maybe then a separate blog for fic recs is also smart 🤔

me: and it's also a nice excuse to finally create an actual tagging system so ppl can search recs by members! and by genre! and whether it's reader insert or not! and oneshots or series! maybe i should tag different types of au's too? 🤔🤔

me: AND OH WHAT IF, WHAT IF, what if i go through all my old recs and queue them up for the new blog so they're neatly gathered in one place, AND i rotate them by member so there's a nice even spread in content!!! and i should also spread out the writers too so they don't get spammed too much. yes yes let's do this 👍 hmm wait i've got like 80 fics in my queue now and i'm not sure if i have any recs left for certain members... i knew i'd have more for some than for others but this... hm... maybe i should tally which members are in the remaining 90 fic so i know what the exact disparity is 🤔 oh dang i read a LOT more San fic than i realised lol oop okay so all i gotta do is dig through my tumblr tbr for the other members and read massive amounts of fic for them so i can keep my queue nice and balanced! yeah lately i've felt too blocked to read anything on tumblr, that's true, but having a deadline will make all the difference to kick my brain back into gear, i'm sure 👍 brute-forcing it will have no negative consequences 👍 let's start wi— wait what do you mean it's 2am already? why is my brain all frazzled and foggy???

me: ...okay maybe, just maybe, it's not fandom that's exhausting.........

Audio Drama Sunday!!!

Again this is far from comprehensive because I am a feral podcast monster, but here’s what stuck out to me this week! Mostly spoiler-free, unless you count vibes as spoilers!

🗡️ Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later managed to have a happy? Ending? Honestly the way it managed to be a hilarious historical sitcom with an ending that chilling was MASTERFUL. Great job writers, y’all are fantastic. It is obviously not absolutely true to what we know about Roman history, but it is true to the spirit of it in a way that’s really satisfying for me personally.

🦀 @thesiltverses oh MAN. The way this story says again and again that you cannot earn your way out of being trampled by a system that doesn’t care about you hits every. Single. Time. And what are you going to do, try to remake that system? There are always going to be people who can’t handle that and fight against you, to their own detriment. This story is fantastical and exaggerated, but it’s always so real at the same time.

👁️ @hellofromthehallowoods is trying to kill me, straight up. I have no idea what Halloween will bring for this show and i’m dying. It’s very difficult to predict storylines on Hallowoods and that’s something I love about it. Will this pair break up? Will this pair die for their cause? Will this pair find each other again, even through death? Shoutout to the great guests this episode, I always enjoy seeing who Mx Wellman invites into the world.

🔎 @knovesstorytelling okay look, y’all, I have never read Northanger Abbey, so I don’t know why Kit’s being told to pack her bags and get out, and I am so UPSET. What’s going on????

📉 Within the Wires is back!! And my WORD, the juxtaposition of this season being motivational tapes while listening to the current season of The Dream about life coaches?? I am transfixed and horrified, let’s GO.

🎟️ @longcatmedia Mockery Manor. I love these clowns so much. I love that Bette is really smart and really dumb at the same time. Everyone’s acting is top notch, but I’m especially a fan of Karim Kronfli in this show. Everyone knows he’s got the range, but it’s so fun listening to him be this fussy little guy.

👻 One of the shows I’ve been catching up on is Ghosts in the Burbs, a deceptively spooky and delightfully witty single-narrator ghost show. I’m listening through the Lilith arc and….woof. WOOF. I know how it ends and it’s still terrifying.

🩸 IT’S HEMOPHOBIA DAY, omg, everyone please check out Hemophobia, I am so excited for Hemophobia. It’s sitting in my queue staring at me with that creepy-ass logo art. I’ve talked with CSW about this show and heard the trailer—religious trauma horror with amazing sound design and an amazing cast??? You kidding???? I am drooling over here. Join me, won’t you?

🧟‍♀️ This week is also the premier of The Dead! As soon as that feed appears I’ll be putting it everywhere, and I’m so excited to show everyone the first series. You’ve heard of snakes on a plane….

💐 On my end, as Re: Dracula continues its march to the finale, this week I find myself recording Inn Between and The Dead. I am still trying to make rent ahead of my new job’s first paycheck, so if you liked this post or the other things I do, would you consider sending me a ko-fi?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I will be listening to Hemophobia very quietly and very scared by myself in the dark. Until next week!

DROWNING IN THOUSANDS OF WORDS

(Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Queue System)

Ah, commissions. Commissions!

According to my backlog, the first commission I ever took—and completed—was back in March 2022. I've been doing this for over a year already. I can't believe it. That's fucking bananas.

Before March 2022, people would often ask me why I didn't have commissions open. To them, it made perfect sense. Not only did I love writing, I was evidently really good at it. In their eyes, the logical progression was monetization—making money doing the thing I love.

Fast forward a year and some change. I've only ever turned down one, maybe two commissions—only because I didn't think I could do a very good job with what the clients asked of me. I always want to be honest with people, especially when said people are throwing dollar bills in my direction. If I don't think I can do something to the ability the client requests of me, I make a point to mention it always.

Other than that, however, I tried to take every commission that came my way. Usually, it was for one or both of these reasons:

I think it's a great challenge to hone my writing skills.

I like making people happy.

Ah, that second one, though. That's where I get into trouble. That's where I ended up in the situation I'm in right now. Approximately 100,000 more words to go until I clear my commission queue, and I have no one to blame but myself.

SO WHAT'S GOING ON?

Okay, let me rewind a little bit.

From March 2022 until about July of the same year, I had a slot system. This meant that up to eight people could commission me at any one time until slots were CLOSED and no one else could reach out to make a request. I'm sure you're aware of how it works. I know you're smart like that, baby.

But here's a secret: I'm not very smart myself.

Somewhere along the way, I made an absolutely stunning realization: if I don't use a slot-based system, then MORE people could commission me. That way, I could make MORE people happy with my work!

So I tried it out. Instead of a slot-based system, I went with a "word count" system. That meant, for example, that my budget for writing commissions per month was somewhere around 70,000 words. Once I reached that amount—whether two people wanted 35,000 word stories each, or seven people wanted 10,000 word stories each—I would be closed for business until the queue's completion.

This didn't really pan out. I was unable to say No to a few last-minute commissioners, because I like making people happy. As a result, I went over my 70,000 word budget to around 90,000 words in one and a half months.

Horrifying, right? Don't worry, it gets worse.

Because one year after I first opened commissions, in March 2023, I had another genius idea. My best one yet. It sounded like this: commissions are always open! Yippee! Wow! Great job!

The logic made sense at the time. Altogether, it looked like this:

Commissions are ALWAYS open,

No more than 15,000 words per person,

Because of the above, please allow UP TO two months for delivery.

In my head, this was something of a "writing rolodex." I would always have something to write and work on, because I would ALWAYS have a commission, and I would ALWAYS have a commission, because slots were ALWAYS open, and because slots were ALWAYS open, I had two months maximum from the date of payment (a rule I insisted UPON MYSELF!) to get 'er done.

Well let me tell you, dear reader, I am the biggest damn fool on dog's green earth.

Not only did I end up with almost 150,000 words to write within two months, I could finally detect the strain and toil that I had managed to keep away for so long. I was getting tired and people could see it.

I love writing, and I love making people happy. I love both things a little too much. I thought if I always said Yes, then everyone would be satisfied with me. Everything would be just fine.

Well! Things! Are! Not! Fine!

I'm not collapsing or anything, but the strain is there. I will complete every last commission, of course, and I'll do my utmost to ensure a (relatively) speedy delivery. But by God, my commissioners are patient people. I'm truly thankful for them, and my readerbase. You inspire me every day of my life.

I like putting smiles on people's faces, especially with my writing! But this always-open-commission-thing is gonna have to... not be a thing anymore. It's unsustainable. I see that now.

It's difficult to sound modest when the reality is that my writing is in high demand. If it wasn't, I would be in this mess—up to my eyebrows in vowels and consonants. Once again, I'm truly grateful to all my readers and the people who pay me to put words in front of them. I'd love to continue writing for a long, long time.

TL,DR: THE LIMITED SLOT SYSTEM IS COMING BACK!

This unfortunately means that some people won't get commissions each month. There will be less smiling faces. I'm picturing a line of people waiting outside a lemonade stand. Only some of you will get lemonade, because I only have so many lemons. Sorry in advance, but maybe the guy down the road has fruit punch or something.

Unlimited Comm Works is taking its toll, so once this queue is done and dusted, I'll return to using a proper slot system—maybe with a bit of a spin on it. I'll definitely need a bit of a break, nothing too long.

As I wrote out this long post, someone messaged me asking when commissions are opening again. Commissions WILL ONLY OPEN AGAIN once I've cleared my present queue, which you can always find on my public Trello board linked here.

It would be irresponsible of me to take on more work when the saintly commissioners I have now have been immensely patient with me.

One more thing: commission prices will be increasing...somewhat.

I'd like to point out that I still charge below the average of two cents per word. I myself, at present, am only comfortable charging 1.75 cents per word, because I'm, like, y'know, umm, quirky like that :3

Here is a tabled breakdown of how much commissions will cost when they properly open again.

Once again, everyone, thank you for your kindness, patience, and attention. It's silly to think this all started when I wrote some very naughty words in an—apparently—pretty swell manner. What isn't silly is just how blown away I am by your support.

Love ya. ✨

Codeblr tag game - Realization

Thank you to @code-es for tagging me!

At what point in your life did you decide that the world of computers was the one for you?

This will be a long one, so bear with me.

I tag: @kitkatcodes, @alica-tech, and literally anyone else who wants to do this.

I honestly didn't know, or care to know, how computers worked until I was 21, at my last semester of college. As a kid I had my own computer, but I didn't mess around with it. Then, growing up, it just didn't occur to me that programming was a thing, or even a thing that my brain could comprehend and actually enjoy doing (plus, I'm bad a math, so there's that).

I was finishing up my Associate Degree in Health Sciences where in my genetics class in my 2nd to last semester, my prof starts talking about Bioinformatics and how the field is rising. So I went up to him after class and asked what that field was, and he said "you create apps to help solve biological problems" and I stood there thinking that that was just awesome (although after being in a bioinformatics program at another school, the definition we were taught is "using programming or computer science to answer biological questions", so a little different than what he said). He said my college was planning on opening up a degree in that field and handed me a timetable for the courses that a student would take in that degree. One of the first courses you'd need to take actually required a pre-requisite course, so my last semester in my degree I took that course, and it was a basic intro to computer science.

This course was awful. I didn't really like my prof, and he just presented different topics without explaining how things connected. For example, he explained how sorting algorithms worked, but I don't remember if he covered lists or arrays. He explained stacks and queues (which I learned about in my 2nd year of university, 2 years after learning it in this course), and also went over the different routing/scheduling algorithms like round robin and others I don't remember. And then we covered Visual Basic (i.e. turn this text colour from black to red), and also briefly touched on if statements and loops. Basically, it was a mess of a course.

So, my college doesn't open the program by the time I graduate and I get into another university for the Bioinformatics bachelor program. Because of college, I didn't really have to take bio courses at uni since I'd already done them. So now it was time for computer science. This was really good, since I had the flexibility of either continuing on the bio path and do research once I graduate, or go into the world of programming. And I really liked that flexibility.

The intro to computer science course offered here was actually structured well, but I still didn't know that the key to courses where you program is to learn how to use google...we did all of our assignments in Python and I asked a programming friend of mine for a lot of help. Then as the semesters went on, I would take 1 or 2 CS courses per semester to learn concepts such as data structures and algorithms, database management systems, and computer networks. Meanwhile, the few actual bioinformatics courses that I took all used R and were mostly data analysis, which I didn't like (but still used it for my thesis project). It wasn't until this past semester where I was taking a design course (officially called "human-computer interactions") that I actually had fun with the project. We had to design a library website system from scratch to a functioning prototype, and I had a blast. Given that that was my last semester, it gave me hope that I can enjoy coding, especially if it's something visual. I don't mind doing backend stuff (plus, it makes me feel smart), but I work really well with visuals, and when I can literally see my process and the outcome.

This was long, but here we are. Now I'm 25 and I've graduated, and I'm in the process of building up a portfolio with projects, as well as (re)learning concepts I covered in school to prep for interviews. I honestly don't think I'll get a job immediately, and it might take a few months, but I'm using that time in between to learn and get a solid understanding of concepts. I feel like I started late, and that I should've just gone into a CS or SE degree instead of Bioinformatics, or gotten an internship during my school years, but alas, it is what it is.

How IoT-Enabled Kiosks Are Modernizing Healthcare Services

The healthcare industry is undergoing a digital revolution, with technology enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and patient care like never before. Among the key innovations leading this transformation are IoT-enabled self-service kiosks, which are redefining how patients interact with healthcare facilities.

From reducing wait times to improving patient data management, IoT-powered kiosks are proving to be an essential asset for modern clinics, hospitals, and diagnostic centers. In this article, we explore how these smart kiosks are revolutionizing healthcare services, streamlining operations, and creating a patient-centric digital ecosystem.

The Need for Smart Healthcare Solutions

Healthcare facilities often face challenges like:

Long patient queues causing delays in check-ins and appointments

Overloaded administrative staff, leading to inefficiencies

Errors in patient data management due to manual entry

Limited accessibility for patients who require quick self-service options

With healthcare demands increasing, automation and smart technologies are no longer luxuries—they are necessities. This is where IoT-enabled self-service kiosks come in, offering faster, more efficient, and data-driven solutions for patients and healthcare providers alike.

What Are IoT-Enabled Kiosks?

IoT-enabled kiosks are smart self-service machines equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, allowing them to seamlessly interact with hospital databases, patient records, and medical devices in real-time. These kiosks are designed to handle multiple functions, such as:

Self-check-ins & Appointment Scheduling – Patients can register and book appointments without human intervention.

Digital Payments & Billing – Secure, cashless transactions for consultation fees and medical bills.

Prescription Refills & Medicine Dispensing – Smart kiosks integrated with pharmacies can dispense prescribed medications.

Health Monitoring & Data Collection – Some kiosks connect with wearables or medical devices to track vital signs.

Patient Information Management – Real-time synchronization of medical history and test results with hospital systems.

By integrating AI, machine learning, and IoT, these kiosks help create a more connected and responsive healthcare ecosystem.

Key Benefits of IoT-Enabled Kiosks in Healthcare

1. Faster Check-ins and Reduced Waiting Times

Traditionally, hospital check-ins involve manual paperwork, long queues, and inefficient processes. IoT-powered kiosks eliminate these bottlenecks by allowing patients to self-register, scan ID documents, and verify insurance details—all within minutes. This enhances patient satisfaction while freeing up medical staff for more critical tasks.

2. Real-Time Patient Data Synchronization

One of the biggest advantages of IoT integration is real-time data connectivity. IoT-enabled kiosks sync instantly with Electronic Health Records (EHRs), ensuring that doctors and nurses have up-to-date patient information before consultations.

For example, a patient using a self-check-in kiosk to update their symptoms will have that data immediately reflected in the doctor's system. This reduces miscommunication, paperwork errors, and medical delays.

3. Smart Health Monitoring and Remote Assistance

Some IoT-powered kiosks are equipped with health monitoring tools, such as:

Blood pressure and heart rate sensors

Glucose level checkers

Thermometers and oxygen level monitors

These kiosks help collect vital signs, which are then transmitted to doctors and healthcare providers in real time. In cases of abnormal readings, the system can send alerts for immediate medical attention.

Additionally, telehealth integration allows patients to connect with doctors remotely via kiosk-based video consultations, making healthcare more accessible and efficient.

4. Contactless Payment & Billing

With digital transformation reshaping industries, cashless transactions are becoming the norm. IoT-enabled kiosks support secure payment options, allowing patients to:

Pay consultation fees using credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, or QR codes

Check insurance eligibility and process claims automatically

Generate digital receipts and send payment confirmations via SMS or email

This reduces human errors in billing, improves transaction security, and eliminates the need for physical paperwork.

5. Enhanced Security & Patient Privacy

Security is a major concern in healthcare, especially when dealing with sensitive patient data. IoT-enabled kiosks come equipped with biometric authentication (fingerprint & facial recognition) and encrypted data transmission to ensure:

Patient identity verification before access to medical records

HIPAA & GDPR compliance for secure handling of health data

Protection against cyber threats and unauthorized access

By leveraging advanced cybersecurity measures, smart kiosks ensure patients’ privacy and trust remain intact.

6. Reduced Administrative Workload & Cost Savings

With automation handling patient check-ins, billing, and data entry, hospitals and clinics can reduce dependency on manual labor, which translates into lower operational costs. Fewer front-desk staff are needed, allowing healthcare providers to reallocate resources efficiently.

Additionally, less paperwork and administrative errors mean better resource management and improved profitability for healthcare institutions.

The Future of IoT-Enabled Kiosks in Healthcare

The evolution of IoT-powered kiosks is just beginning. Future developments may include:

✔ AI-Powered Chatbots – Offering 24/7 virtual assistance for common medical queries

✔ Advanced Wearable Integration – Seamless connection with smartwatches, ECG devices, and fitness trackers

✔ Automated Medicine Dispensing – Smart kiosks functioning as mini-pharmacies

✔ Voice-Activated Interfaces – Enhancing accessibility for visually impaired and elderly patients

With continuous advancements in IoT, AI, and machine learning, self-service kiosks will play an even greater role in smart healthcare.

Conclusion

IoT-enabled kiosks are reshaping healthcare services, making them faster, safer, and more accessible. By streamlining patient experiences, automating administrative tasks, and improving data management, these smart kiosks are paving the way for a digitally-driven, patient-centric healthcare system.

As the demand for convenient, connected, and efficient healthcare solutions grows, investing in IoT-powered kiosks will become a necessity rather than an option for medical institutions.

The Future of Parking Automation with Number Plate Recognition Cameras

As urban areas continue to grow, the demand for smarter and more efficient parking solutions has never been greater. With the rise of smart cities and the increasing need for streamlined, automated systems, Number Plate Recognition (NPR) cameras have emerged as a transformative technology in parking management. By automating the process of identifying vehicles and managing parking spaces, NPR cameras are paving the way for a more efficient, secure, and convenient parking experience.

In this article, we’ll explore how NPR technology is revolutionizing parking automation, its key features, benefits, and how it will shape the future of parking management.

What is Number Plate Recognition (NPR) Technology?

Number Plate Recognition (NPR) is an advanced technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically read and capture the license plate numbers of vehicles. The system uses high-definition cameras equipped with specialized software to detect and decode the number plate of any vehicle entering or exiting a parking facility. NPR cameras can function in real-time, offering an automated solution for various parking management tasks such as entry/exit control, payment processing, and space monitoring.

NPR systems are highly accurate, reliable, and fast, making them an essential component in modern parking automation.

The Role of NPR Cameras in Parking Automation

As the demand for automated parking systems increases, NPR cameras are becoming a cornerstone of this transformation. Here's how they are shaping the future of parking automation:

1. Seamless Access Control

Traditional parking systems often require physical tickets or passes, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. With NPR cameras, vehicles are automatically identified by their number plates, granting instant access to parking facilities. This seamless process eliminates the need for manual checks, long queues, and human intervention, improving the overall parking experience for drivers.

NPR cameras ensure that only authorized vehicles can enter certain parking areas, offering an added layer of security and reducing the chances of unauthorized parking.

2. Enhanced Parking Efficiency

One of the biggest challenges in parking management is optimizing the use of available space. NPR cameras allow parking operators to monitor real-time data on vehicle occupancy, helping them optimize space allocation and improve overall efficiency. The system can also guide drivers to available spots, reducing the time spent searching for a space and minimizing congestion in parking areas.

Additionally, NPR systems can be integrated with smart parking apps to provide drivers with real-time updates on parking availability, allowing them to plan their parking ahead of time and avoid unnecessary delays.

3. Contactless and Hassle-Free Payments

With NPR cameras, the entire parking experience becomes contactless. The system can automatically recognize a vehicle’s number plate and link it to an account or payment system, enabling automated billing. This means that drivers don’t need to stop to collect tickets or manually enter payment information. The system charges the appropriate fees based on the duration of the vehicle's stay and sends an electronic receipt to the driver, all without requiring human interaction.

The contactless nature of NPR systems enhances convenience, reduces the chances of human error, and minimizes physical touchpoints, making the process more hygienic and user-friendly.

4. Real-Time Data Collection and Analytics

NPR cameras are not only useful for monitoring parking access and payments but also for collecting valuable data on parking usage. These cameras can record details such as the frequency of parking lot usage, peak hours, average duration of parking, and even vehicle types. This data can be analyzed to optimize parking management, improve pricing models, and even predict future parking demand.

By integrating this data with broader smart city infrastructure, NPR technology can help city planners and businesses make more informed decisions about parking policies and urban development.

5. Enhanced Security and Surveillance

Security is a major concern in parking facilities, especially in busy urban environments. NPR cameras provide a high level of surveillance, capturing the number plates of vehicles entering and exiting the parking area. This information can be used to track vehicles in case of theft, accidents, or other security breaches.

Moreover, NPR systems can be integrated with other security technologies, such as CCTV cameras and alarms, to create a comprehensive security solution. If a vehicle is involved in a suspicious activity or if there is an unauthorized attempt to enter the parking facility, the system can trigger alerts, notifying security personnel immediately.

The Benefits of NPR Technology in Parking Automation

The future of parking automation is brighter with NPR cameras, offering numerous advantages for both businesses and drivers:

1. Increased Efficiency and Reduced Costs

By automating access control, payment processing, and space monitoring, NPR systems significantly reduce the need for manual labor, leading to lower operational costs. They also improve the efficiency of parking facilities by minimizing the time drivers spend searching for spaces, reducing congestion, and optimizing space utilization.

2. Improved User Experience

Drivers enjoy a faster, more convenient parking experience with NPR technology. They no longer need to worry about ticket machines, parking passes, or lengthy payment processes. NPR systems provide a seamless and hassle-free parking experience, which increases customer satisfaction and loyalty.

3. Enhanced Security and Compliance

NPR technology enhances security by monitoring vehicle movements and tracking license plates. This not only helps prevent unauthorized parking but also ensures that businesses and cities comply with regulations, such as parking restrictions or payment requirements. The system provides a detailed log of all vehicle activity, making it easier to resolve disputes or investigate incidents.

4. Future-Proof Technology

NPR cameras are a future-proof investment, as they can be integrated with a wide range of other smart city technologies. As cities continue to evolve, NPR systems can be upgraded to support new functionalities, such as dynamic pricing, advanced analytics, and even autonomous vehicle integration. This adaptability makes NPR technology a valuable long-term solution for parking management.

The Future of NPR in Parking Management

The future of parking automation is undoubtedly intertwined with the advancement of Number Plate Recognition (NPR) technology. As cities continue to embrace smart city initiatives, NPR cameras will play a crucial role in transforming parking from a manual, inefficient process to a seamless, automated experience. With the ability to optimize parking space usage, reduce traffic congestion, improve security, and enhance user satisfaction, NPR technology is set to become a core component of the smart city infrastructure.

In the coming years, we can expect to see wider adoption of NPR systems in parking lots, airports, shopping centers, residential complexes, and even on-street parking, as cities and businesses seek to offer more efficient, cost-effective, and secure parking solutions.

As the technology evolves, integration with artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and autonomous vehicles will unlock even greater potential, ensuring that parking management systems become even smarter and more automated, driving the future of urban mobility.

Conclusion

Number Plate Recognition cameras are transforming the landscape of parking automation. With their ability to automate access control, optimize parking space usage, and provide contactless payments, NPR systems are revolutionizing the way we park. As cities move towards becoming smarter and more connected, NPR technology will continue to be a cornerstone of efficient, secure, and sustainable parking management solutions.

For businesses and urban planners looking to embrace the future of parking, investing in NPR technology is not just a smart choice—it’s an essential step toward creating a more efficient, sustainable, and user-friendly urban environment.
